On the SD(126) there is about 3" to work with below the First Aid Kit, don't think the 117 has one. The plastic black bolster on the lip of the trunk has to be pushed forward off it catch points and then pulled back - but the two latching points are going to keep you from pulling the carpeting away from the inside trunk frame. Thumbnail 1 is looking down on two latch points #2 is ouside wall of rear of trunk.
